"...last but not least, I also wanted to express as a final word is a profound and heartfelt “thank you” to you, Angela. I loved the course, and cherish my deeper awareness regarding the importance and the impact of clean language and I’m so impressed by your leading the webinar in terms of inspiration, clarity, eloquence, bringing spontaneous examples and picking up on what participants said earlier in order to build and finish off the arc of a session. Just wonderful and I can truly say that this is the best online course I’ve been on so far. "24th May 2017 Karen Nanninga, Coach

"It's been an incredible journey learning from you - your passion for Clean, your knowledge and wisdom, your generosity, and the incredible quality of your courses and course materials have always inspired and motivated me. You are my model for coaching and training done right...." 31st May 2017 Gavin Kirk, Coach

"I just wanted to drop you an e-mail to say how much I gained from the module. I found it extremely informative and the practical application sessions have proved invaluable. It has most definitely helped me to embed clean techniques in my own coaching sessions and the results have proved very effective."22nd April 2016.

The Clean Coaching Online Training Programme
Complete Overview

Clean Coaching provides a different, simple yet highly effective approach to one-to-one facilitation. It is a style, strategy and set of techniques that help coachees gain insight and make changes through discovering more about their own ‘insider’ perspective: of themselves and the world around them. Through the use of specifically-phrased, structured coaching questions, the coach’s own biased perspectives are stripped from their language, ensuring the coachee’s unique personal experience is honoured. With no distraction, the coachee’s imagination is free to flourish and new ideas and understandings can emerge.

Our Complete ‘Clean Coaching’ Online Training Programme consists of FOUR MODULES which enable you to learn at your own pace and at a time that suits you. Whether you want to dip in and develop a fresh approach to your coaching, or dive deep and gain an ILM endorsed accreditation in Clean Coaching, we have something for you. The arrows above show the typical progression that students follow when learning with us, although each module is designed also to stand alone, so you can choose whichever module best serves your requirements.

"Gaining Insight through Movement"

We suggest you start learning here! Suitable for those with absolutely no coaching or Clean Language training, but also for those more experienced wanting to gain a fresh and original approach to coaching developed by the creator of Clean Language himself, David Grove. It provides simple frameworks and useful guides that you can put into immediate practice within your coaching. It incorporates the basics of Clean Language, Clean Space and Grove’s ‘Emergent Knowledge’ theory of change. It is also the place to start if you wish to become accredited with us as a ‘Clean Coach’.

What you will gain: The confidence and know-how to facilitate clients to make transformational changes using core ‘Clean’ principles and techniques.

Suitable for experienced coaches interested in learning Clean Language to incorporate into their own coaching frameworks. The course emphasises the value of working with client’s self-generated metaphors as a creative approach. Some coaches may wish to start learning at Module Two and return to Module One at a later stage if they decide to continue learning Clean Coaching and apply for accreditation.

What you will gain:An understanding of how to enter a client’s inner world through metaphors & help them explore issues & reach solutions from a deeper source of knowledge.

A Brief History of The Clean Coaching Centre

Clean Language was developed in the 1980s by David Grove to alleviate traumatic memories, by repeating a client's words back and asking a series of questions which would elicit metaphors and develop them with the least possible influence from the practitioner. David discovered that when people describe their experiences in metaphor they can move through a traumatic memory and resolve the effects more quickly and easily than by conventional therapeutic methods.

David went on to explore spatial remedies, literally moving clients around to gain insight from different perspectives, and in 2005 developed Emergent Knowledge (EK), based on Clean Language, metaphor, spatial questioning and the new science of Emergence. He worked with Carol Wilson, co-founding the "Clean Coachingwith EK" training programme to translate his techniques into methods that can be used safely by coaches and other practitioners with no training in therapy.

For over 25 years David's work has been breaking new frontiers and coaches have found his techniques effective in reducing blocks and phobias that hold their clients back. Clean techniques bear similarities to coaching in that they are 100% client led and make frequent use of the practice of reflecting back clients’ words.

David passed away in January '08 and Carol continues his work with our Chief Course Director, Angela Dunbar, a qualified Clean Language practitioner who also delivers Clean Language training at Oxford Brookes University
